only vented in words Of satisfaction
The S. racuse, or Shamrock combiDa
ton, is composed Of players OF no mean
order Of merit, and they were mere
child's play for the B!owns. They
yearn for such foemen as the st. Louis
Browns, Detroits or Chicagos, and will
meet the former Saturday for series
of three games. Just to encourage the
30 called worlds champions, they may
be allowed to win on a close margin
the first day, but the succeeding games
belong to the Buff City sluggers.
ToDAY's TUs'LE.
Today the Des Moines team, which
the Pelicans downed in such fine style
last week, will tackle the Browns. Tee
chances are that not more than one OF
the visitors will cross the home plate in
either OF the games. Smith, the new
pitcher, who 30 tickled the Little Rock
people last season, will do the twirling
act for the locale, and his twists and
curves will dgz, the visitors Follow

ACCEPT OUR SYMPATHY.
The direful defeat OF the Nashville
team by Syracuse excited grief and
lamentations in this city. OF course,
it has been known all along that Man
sger Bradley's boys would be fish for
Sneed's sluggera, but it was also ex,
pected that they would at least be
common amusement. 1t seems the
Browns are to have no serious opposi-
ton in their march to the front, and
the rag may as we'll be forwsrded at
once. 1t is really too bad that Nash
vile has no chance to strengthen sui
fciently to make a creditable showing
in the contests for the State champion
chip, to take place next week. The
following special relates the sad story:
The game today between the Sham
rock combination and the local team
was witnessed by betweeen 800 and
900 people. The weather was cold
and the game tiresome. The Nash
villes made a favorable impression,
Notwithstanding the loss OF the con-
test.
The score by innings and summary
is as follows:
Nashvilles ..... 2001100 / 8

HARMONY PREVAILS.
One encouraging feature of the pres
ent organization terroriziug the South
ern League, is, that complete harmony
prevails among the players. There are
no jealous chickering's, strife and con-
sequsn throwing of, and every game
Will be played to win. Even when
Nashville ~ tackled, and a walkover
is foreRone conclusion, every posi-
bic ruu will be made. II the boys can
run the score no to fifty, and shut the
Rock City pets out, it will be done.
That is the way to play ball, and Maui
ager Sneed says that policy will pre-
vail throughout the entire season.
NEW ORLEANS ovERRATED.
A tour was made among the local
players last night to secure an esti-
mate of the strength Of the Pelieans.
The opinion of those in position to
know was that they are very strong,
though somewhat overrated. Cart.
wright is q terrific slu9ger when the
bali comes to his liking, but none of
the shrewd and scientific pitchers of
this city will ever compliment him in
that way; aside from Cartwright they
are very weak batters. Billy Geiss,
who ranks second, is well known in
this city, and the wonder is how he
got up 80 near the top. Last year he
COulu uhIuly hhNo tOuCu6u UhllOOH
il thrown to him with any speed. The
others are only average, If that.
SECRET OF THE HOWL.
1t Is all the result OF unfortunate
wagers. The Nashville Union is
making it uncomfortable for the base
ball end Of the Sunday Times, and yes
terday hurls another shaft as follows:
The Union does not kick at the pilfar.
ing OF notes from its baseball column,
because notes are public property, but
when itsopinions editorially are stolen
bodily and a word here and there
changed, or other papers names in
serted, it kicks. Part of the intro
dultory article in last Sundays issue
of the Memphis Sunday Times was
taken bodily from the Uaion OF the
Monday morning before. This has
been occurring all winter. Under the
heading, punched Hts" the Times
also uses matter without a line Of
credit. Tote fair, old man." Brother
Lands says it is because he downed
the Union man last year on a bet as to
the merits and final standing OF Bit
man and Cub Stricken. "You bet I'll
answer him." murmured the alleged
pilferer.
